One Last Blast With the Roadhouse Gypsies
Since 2003, The Roadhouse Gypsies have been bringing their brand of Faces and Stones inspired, tight-panted, sweat-dripping rock'n'roll to the bars of Buffalo. After four years of good times and great music, the band has decided to call it quits. But tonight, the boys are getting together for one last show to insure that their exit from the scene is a memorable one.
A Gypsies show is always a party, complete with a killer soundtrack. The band's hip-shaking sounds inspire even the most timid wallflower types to dance along. The Roadhouse Gypsies never fail to draw a huge crowd and their raucous performances always pack a punch. If your idea of a good time is gentle strumming on an acoustic guitar, then maybe Merlin's won't be your kind of place tonight. But if you're in the mood for pure, unadulterated rock'n'roll swagger, then this is the place for you.
Perhaps the vintage-inspired rock that the Gypsies play is not the height of musical genius, but it sure is fun, and when you're surrounded by good friends and copious amounts of cheap alcohol, that's all that really matters.
Equally loud and fun, Slampig and Whiskey Suicide will be on hand to help the Gypsies say goodbye in style.

“Triangles” at The Road Less Traveled Productions
Opening night is normally a series of highs and lows. Anticipation, nerves and excitement go hand and hand, for a new playwright it can be agony.
